    I drive a 2023 ORP 4Runner that has a Gobi ranger rack, and the Cali Molle panel system in the trunk. The weight has caused the rear suspension to sag, leveling out the truck (Picture provided but can upload a better angle when I have the opportunity). I'm looking to raise the rear back to factory ride height and not mess with the IFS in the front.

    Would the OME coil springs in the picture below (2898 200-400lbs) with Fox 2.0 shocks
    -hurt my ride quality
    -would there be any issues of using the shocks (if the truck is at factory ride height) bottoming out
    -would this harm ride quality

    Open to any advice, also looking to lift in the distant future to fit something larger like 33s

    Can't help you with the OME, have you looked at Eibach?

    2898 are a really high/strong spring rate and would be total overkill for you, and you'd hate them. Many people make that mistake of buying springs that are way too strong.. Stock coils are around 200lb/in rate, 2898 are 318lb/in. Regular Dobinsons coils are 220lb/in rate, so that's what you'd need. Just a bit stronger than stock. Also, you'd be gaining 2-3" over the ORIGINAL height with those 2898, not up from where it's sitting now.

    These coils will pick it back up and compensate for the added weight.

    Those can work with the Fox shocks.

    I have the same rig. Yesterday i adjusted the eibach load leveling coils as it started to settle from initial install. They're worth considering. Good ride quality.

    2” lift Bilstein 6112 w/600 lb coils front, 1.5” lift Eibach T13 coils rear, Bilstein 5100 rear shocks, TRD skidplate, TRD stainless catback w/black TRD side exhaust, TRD shifter handle, Weathertech bug deflector, 20% tint front, LED door bulbs, 285/70/17 Falken WP AT3, Energy Suspension front bumpstops, SSO Slimline Bumper w/ Badland Shackles, Durobumps 4.25” rear
    stockers are around 180

    go with an Eibach T13 rear coil. You get about 1.5” lift and about 13% stiffer than stock coils. Have them in mine and love them unloaded or loaded. With around 600 lbs loaded in the back and full tank of gas, it might drop about 1/2”. Dont forget to dump the stock rear bumpstops. I did the 4.25” Durobump stops.

    Thanks for the warning on those OME springs. Looked more into those Dobinson's, and they look promising. I'm going to keep your link when I'm ready to pull the trigger on the parts, but continuing to research for now. I appreciate the help
